One of the questions I'm asked about Serbia most often, usually by people with no prior knowledge of the country, is does it have a coastline? Now I can perhaps illustrate why Serbia needs no coastline. I stumbled across the video by Nenad Maric and it's a great...

This is not easy to admit in the slightest but I suffer from depression. To be honest, I didn’t want to admit it to myself let alone stick this up on a public forum but a series of events have led me to the point where a Facebook contact convinced me to go public....

I just stumbled across this stunning video from directors Malwina and Michal Kolatek on Vimeo. The video really highlights the Serbia using stunning cinematography from all over the country. Here's what the duo had to say about the project: "When we read a post about...

I’m in a sort of strange post-kickstarter limbo. On one side I’m ecstatic that we reached and surpassed the campaign target but on the other I’m sat around waiting for the funds to reach my account to start the final part of the project. It can take over two weeks for...
